lyrics

Apples in the summer, beets in the fall
Now wintertime's here won't do no workin' at all
I'm long gone - that's what I mean
I'm long gone - back to New Orleans

Potatoes in the ashes, catfish in the pan
My gal's in West Virginia with a low down man
I'm long gone - that's what I mean
I'm long gone - back to New Orleans

I went to the gypsy and the gypsy said "NO!"
Gonna ride that train 'til she rides no more
I'm long gone - that's what I mean
I'm long gone - back to New Orleans

Southern Pacific - midnight train
I'm leavin' California turned my money green
I'm long gone - that's what I mean
I'm long gone - back to New Orleans

Make a million dollars here - Make a million dollars there
We're the Sluetown Strutters man we're millionaires
We're long gone - that's what I mean
We're long gone - back to New Orleans

If anyone should ask you who composed this song
It's the Sluetown Strutters done been here and gone
We're long gone - that's what I mean
We're long gone - back to New Orleans
